TORONTO - Toronto FC manager Ryan Nelsen says hes concerned about the rough treatment being meted out to star striker Jermain Defoe. The five-foot-seven English forward will have to sit out Saturdays game against visiting Sporting Kansas City after receiving a caution last weekend in Houston, when he was essentially hurled to the ground by six-foot-four Dynamo defender David Horst during an altercation. Only Defoe saw yellow, his fifth of the season which triggered a one-game ban. Nelsens beef is that officials seem to be swayed by simulation and the extras that can follow a foul rather the actual incident. "Hes such a honest player," Nelsen said of Defoe. "Especially in England, you dont dive, you dont fall down, you dont complain. You get that sort of treatment and you have to deal with it. "But over here, a lot of players fall and dive and roll. And the referees react on that. Where(as) our guys are sometimes a wee bit too honest and they take the punishment. The league talks about stamping out all that play, but just because our guys dont dive, it doesnt mean its not happening. "Thats the thing that frustrates me the most is that the referees, they react on what happened if its a dive or its a roll or something like that, then they react. And not the actual impact itself, which they should be doing." No stranger to having a target on his back, the 145-pound Defoe has not complained and has shown he can take care of himself, not backing down from anyone. But the 31-year-old has surprised even himself with the five cautions so far in his first season in MLS. "Which is unusual for me," he said after the midweek friendly with Tottenham. "I dont normally get involved, I dont really get yellow cards and that." Defoe understands, however, that opposing teams are looking to get him off his game. "Well thats their job at the end of the day," he said after the recent 1-1 tie with Vancouver."Youve got to do whatever it takes to win the game. "Obviously Im not in their changing room, I dont know what the manager says or what they do, but at the end of the day, for me, Ive just go to get into the areas where Im going to score goals. And obviously theyre going to try and do stuff, I suppose, to put me off my game. But its not a problem. Its important just to keep focused and as a forward make sure when we get the chances, that we put them away." Going into this weekends round of play, Defoe was one of 13 players with five cautions. D.C. United midfielder Perry Kitchen led the league with seven yellow cards while six players had six cautions. Defoe leads TFC in yellows, despite only having played 14 of 17 league games. Portlands Darlington Nagbe led the league with 61 fouls suffered in 20 games. Defoe was not in the top 10. But as Torontos leading scorer, with 11 of the clubs 26 goals, he is a key to the attack. Defoe ranks fourth in league scoring. Nike Shox Cheap Wholesale .C. -- Martin Kaymer set a U. Clearance Nike Shox . The attacking midfielder arrives on a free transfer from Spains Malaga.

UT Martin also has three losses this season, and is one win shy of reaching Butlers eight this season. The Skyhawks have won four of their last five, with a recent victory over Presbyterian (77-60) serving as the teams latest outing. Butler was 8-1 to start the season, but consecutive losses to Tennessee (67-55) and Indiana (82-73) set the team back to three losses on the early campaign. UT Martin and Butler have met a total of two times on the court in their series history, with each team earning a victory for the series split. The Skyhawks allowed Presbyterian to shoot 49 percent from the floor in the game on Saturday, but UT Martin was able to down the Blue Hose with relative ease thanks to 58 percent shooting from the floor for the home squad, which included an 11-of-21 mark from 3-point range. Deville Smith netted a team-best 23 points for UT Martin, adding in nine assists to his resume. Twymond Howard chipped in with 16 points, and Alex Anderson netted 12. Marshun Newell boasted a very generous stat line of 11 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the victory. UT Martins offense has been clicking this season, and it shows in a very strong 49.5 percent shooting touch and a 75.1 ppg mark. Smitth and Howard are at the top of the teams scoring leaderboard, netting 14.dddddddddddd3 ppg and 14.2 ppg, respectively. Add in Newells 11.7 ppg, Myles Taylors 11.1 ppg (in seven games played) and Andersons 11.0 ppg, and the Skyhawks are set offensively. Taylor, who will miss yet another game with a sprained ankle, tops the team at 6.0 rpg. But in his absence its been Howards 5.9 rpg mark that is the best active average. It was a tough day offensively for Butler on Saturday, as the team could only manage 39.1 percent shooting from the field in the loss to Indiana - the teams second straight this season. But perhaps the teams 5-0 record at home will count toward something big as it prepares to take on the Skyhawks. Kellen Dunham scored 23 points to pace Butler, while Andrew Chrabascz added 14 in the defeat. Roosevelt Jones contributed 11 points with eight rebounds, while Kameron Woods tallied a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds. Despite the two straight losses, the Bulldogs are still netting a very respectable 72.4 ppg this season on 44.7 percent shooting from the floor. Dunham leads the scoring charge, averaging 16.9 ppg on 45.1 percent shooting, adding in an 89.1 percent shooting touch from the free-throw line. Jones (10.6 ppg) and Kelan Martin (10.5 ppg) round out a trio of double-digit scorers. The Bulldogs have played strong defensively in holding opponents to 57.9 ppg on 39.9 percent shooting.
